Binance Alpha Listing – The Consequences Are a Pump and Dump
The performance of the top five projects listed on Binance Alpha followed a strikingly similar pattern. Each experienced an initial price increase of 30 to 50% shortly after the announcement, only to experience a sharp drop within a few hours. While most projects displayed this pump and dump trend, one exception was ai16z. As the largest market cap project of the group, ai16z has shown minimal movement compared to the others.

(@VietnamPenguin) This trend highlights a key aspect of Binance Alpha’s strategy: prioritizing tokens with lower market caps, including meme coins, to attract trading volume. By focusing on smaller projects, Binance appears to be leveraging the high volatility of these tokens to drive engagement and activity on its platform.
Binance’s decision to spotlight and list low-market-cap, meme-driven projects through Binance Alpha is raising eyebrows, and for good reason. Although the platform aims to attract trading volume and engage users with these volatile assets, the move could jeopardize Binance’s hard-earned reputation as a premier, exclusive Tier 1 exchange. rather than value?
